Will review this article. MWright96 (talk) 17:32, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]

Non-reviewer comment: this article is in the maintenance category: Category:Football kits with incorrect pattern. I don't often work with football related articles, so I don't know what triggers this, but it sounds like something that needs to be fixed. – Finnusertop (talkcontribs) 19:44, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

For clarity, that category has been renamed to Category:Pages using Template:Football kit with incorrect pattern parameters. – Fayenatic London 12:54, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

General[edit]

  • Remove all duplicate links to Indian Super League, Goa, Atlético de Kolkata, Kerala Blasters, Salt Lake Stadium, David James, Jakub Podaný, Borja Fernández, Baljit Sahni, Arnal and Stephen Pearson in the prose.

Lead[edit]

  • "The 2014 Indian Super League Final was the football match between the Kerala Blasters and Atlético de Kolkata," - The standard is "was an" not "was the". Also rename football to Association football for American readers
  • "with late substitute Mohammed Rafique scoring the only goal in added time.." - remove the second period at the end of this sentence

Road to the final[edit]

  • "The Indian Super League is the brand new franchise league started between IMG-Reliance and STAR Sports with the goal of making football one of the main sports in India," - This is better: The Indian Super League is a franchise league started between IMG-Reliance and STAR Sports with the objective of making football one of the main sports in India,
  • "as well as make India a known name in the footballing world." - repetition of India. Footballing world should be world of football

Kerala Blasters[edit]

  • "and thus help the Kerala Blasters win on aggregate 4–3" - and thus help the Kerala Blasters win 4–3 on aggregate

Officials[edit]

Venue[edit]

  • "it was reported that a full house was expected for the final." - full house is informal

Summary[edit]

  • "came in the 5th minute when Kerala Blasters midfielder," - 5th needs to be spelt out

Status query[edit]

MWright96, ArsenalFan700, the review was posted a month ago, yet I see no edits to address the issues raised; indeed, the article hasn't been touched since the end of July. Unless work starts right away, it is probably about time to close this nomination as unsuccessful; it can always be renominated once the requested work has been completed.

Give me a bit. I already said on his talk page that I was busy over the last month and had other things to do, esspecially since the ISL season starts in just over a week and they have still not released a lot of information. I will get to it within the next 24 hours. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 15:05, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
